I'm a 7-figure founder, international speaker, author and the voice behind a top 3% globally ranked podcast with zero interest in fake guru energy.
I'm currently obsessed with matcha, and weight training. I'm big on real connection over algorithms, steak over small talk, and proving you don't need to be someone else to win.

I slowly put myself in a bubble. No dating. No social life. No distractions. Just the business, the whiteboard, and the ocean. It was safe in there. Building couldn't leave me. Building couldn't die.
During that time, I built a personal brand, and the same people who built mine are the same people who build yours. I know what it's like to trust someone with your brand, your voice, and your impact. We don't take that lightly.
The timeout is over. The funnels are locked. The business runs. And for the first time in twelve years, I'm letting life back in.

The First Hustle
I started my first business at a hot dog stand outside a construction site. I didn't know it yet, but I already understood the only rule that mattered: see a problem, solve it.


The Classroom Years
I spent 10 years as a high school educator. I learned how to take something complicated and make it click. That skill would end up saving me later.
Rock Bottom
My daughter died in my arms. I was 100K in debt, grieving, and completely alone. I started building my business right after, not because I was punishing myself, but because building couldn't leave me. Building couldn't die.


Building Through It
For five years, I whiteboarded. I worked out. I showed up every single day, even when I didn't want to. Slowly, six figures of debt became a 7-figure agency.
Where I Am Now
Today I lead 90+ specialists, we've generated $50M+ in client revenue with a 90.4% retention rate, all without a single paid ad. I'm not a marketing person who learned to talk about resilience. I'm a woman who survived the unimaginable and built something extraordinary because of it.

I build what lasts after life tries to break you.
From rebuilding my life from the ground up, to growing a 7 figure empire, leading 90+ elite specialists and amplifying the impact of good people.
Because I know better than most that nothing is guaranteed, so what you create while you're here has to mean something. If you're curious about the marketing side of what I do, you can find that here.

There are a few things about me that don't fit neatly into a bio but explain everything about how I work.
I was a teacher for 10 years. That's why I can break down complex strategy faster than anyone you'll meet.
I built a 7-figure business during a five-year timeout in Tulum. The timeout is over.
I wrote Scar Tissue, a playbook for building your grief support system and understanding capacity while leading.
And if there's one thing I want you to leave this page knowing, it's this: everything I build, I build to last. Because I know better than most that nothing is guaranteed, so what you create while you're here has to mean something.
The stuff I actually use, not just the stuff that looks good in a post.
These are the tools, products, and little rituals I actually reach for, on stage, mid-launch, or halfway across the world on a work trip. Nothing here is a random recommendation. If it made this list, I've already put it through the wringer.
